so maybe it's all in my head but maybe this is a drawing of a man in drag marrying a woman in drag. The groom has delicate features, hints of make up, pierced ears and is doing the stereotypical "one foot up" associated normally with women in a moment of romance.

Thank God they were married and not sparing the rod to spoil the child!(sarcasm.)Let's all be sure to live our lives in another era as it's clearly a valid way to live these days.

How about this, my mother has been married and divorced 6 TIMES. The one before this one she divorced as he couldn't control his 18 year son, whose mother lived at the other end of the block. The current one has a 16 year old daughter who she has told "I can't be bothered to raise you, I'm too old to be a parent."

My cousin Lara has been married twice, she has three children, one she had while 18 and gave up, two from the marriage. The guy turned out to be an abusive drug addict, so she was left a single mom with a 1 and 2 year old. She got her tubes tied as she didn't want anymore children and met her next husband when her kids were 3 and 4. He knew from the start that she couldn't have anymore children, but waited till they were married for over a year (not counting the year of dating time) to divorce her for not being able to have children.
My older sister had a partial hysterectomy due to having a large cluster of cysts. She married her husband and was married for two years before their first son, who had about a 40% chance of even being conceived. 5 years pass and he wants a sibling for their son, she has 3 miscarriages while they try, the last one at second term.
My cousin Sara has three children, her husband belongs to one of the Native nations in Oklahoma. He started beating her, and her children. He came home and strangled her one night, nearly killing her. He would go back to the Res to avoid police.

In each of these occasions, aside from my mother my family turned to the larger support of extended family to help raise their children and get them through the dark times.
I think the concern shouldn't be that a woman isn't marrying a man and staying with him when he turns out to be the worst choice possible for the woman and their children, but rather that the family around that woman should be counted on to help and support the woman. You should be waving your moralistic flags and cries of the fall of humanity at the horrible people who marry and cause nothing but pain and destruction, and the families that think more of the individual units rather than the support network it should be.

I've been with my boyfriend for 8 years, neither of us wants marriage or children. I've never wanted to be married, but frankly I see spending enough money to put a down payment on a house or a car on a pageant where the most you keep from it is the cake topper, pictures, and the dress. If women in this country are looking at potential partners and seeing only gaping holes where the wallet should be, what motivation is there to marry a financial burden, especially when it is expected of the couple to marry and spend a good deal of money on it.

you know what else likes chilling in vegetation and dark places in cities? Raccoons, possums, rats, feral cats, feral dogs,and roaches. It's an excellent idea to place an ideal habitat next to areas where lots of food waste will be.

oh man we better stop eating all these plants we've changed to be better producers through domestication as well. Plants have feelings too! Brb, making a plant out of plants and then having the whole thing spoil in the sun so it's not edible.

Regardless of a scientist being able to "bring the goods to the table" I would be willing to be that the lab grown meat would cost an exponential amount more than any domesticated animal as the resources needed would be greater than field,water,food,time. That's nothing to say of the people who would be left jobless if Peta succeeded as they have worked their lives around the growth and processing of real live animals, and not in a lab harvesting and processing cultures.

The Xanth series is what turned me into an avid reader, and while it's a silly (and some of the later books were a little bit of a let down) it grew the seeds in me to love words, the ridiculous and satire. While I detest Twilight for it's depiction of an unhealthy relationship,however I don't care for any vampire romance fiction as I cannot see a food driven killing machine loving it's meal, otherwise we'd see harbor seals and sharks frolicking in the seas.
I do agree that it's a great way to get a literary foot in the door, once you get someone hooked on using their imagination there's no going back.
